"Revenge" - RTE Pace [ Spoilers ]

bnt · 07-01-2013 11:11pm

It's back ... but not on RTE first. E4 showed a S1 recap episode, then the first S2 episode, tonight, and C4 and E4 will be repeating them later in the week. RTE shows the first two episodes Tuesday (tomorrow).

They showed the recap on RTE tonight

Season 2 starts with a double bill on RTE 2 tonight at 9pm

Galwayguy35 · 08-01-2013 7:36pm

Hope this season is as good as the first one.

bnt · 08-01-2013 11:01pm

Anyway, I watched the 1st episode last night, and am about to watch the 2nd now. I like that they didn't try too hard to hide

that Victoria is still alive

, it wasn't too hard to see that coming.

I think I like the series because it's illogical, unrealistic, implausible, round the bend, up the wall, and over the top. Great escapism.

I have only watched the first episode tonight. Its not that illogical and it is an absolute beastly programme!!! I'm addicted to it.

Meathlass · 09-01-2013 12:18pm

Well, thoughts anyone?

I quite enjoyed it but getting slightly confused with all the convoluted story lines, particularly surrounding Victoria.

Jack's brother is certainly being set up for something (by Daniel perhaps?) by agreeing to 'mind' that bracelet.

Loving Nolan's new look!

JP Liz V1 · 09-01-2013 1:00pm

I still think Nolan has a wee crush on Jack (who can blame him) and loving him and Emily living together now

3

A double bill and then a single ep.

Is it on the player?

brian_t · 17-01-2013 5:48pm

You can still catch episode 2 on E4 tomorrow evening.

I think they are only on the RTE player for a week.

Lockedout · 17-01-2013 10:25pm

Thanks for that. Have set the record for Ep2 on E4. If anybody knows where I can get EP one legally let me know!

Lockedout · 19-01-2013 10:31pm

Saw episode 1. Hard to get back into it. Wonder if its going to gt too convoluted?The Jap guy is OTT.

Yeah, I think they threw too much down too early. I prefer the Japanese guy from season 1. He was much cooler

I thought he was the same dude sans hair!;) Sometimes American TV concentrates too much on pace at the expense of character. Bar the Sopranos and West Wing -hard to find series that do that.
Im still scratching my dead at the volte face of Daniel-sure he aint as bad as his parents but look how he turned so quickly.. doesn't help that he is quite a limited actor.

Galwayguy35 · 22-01-2013 4:06pm

I thought RTE might have continued showing double episodes but it doesn't seem to be the case.

JP Liz V1 · 22-01-2013 5:17pm

The amount of ad breaks during an episode on this on RTE is bloody ridiculous :mad:

Tape it and fast forward ads. I cant think of the last time I watched anything in real time. Anyway-someone has to put Pat Kenny's kids through college. Thus-the plethora of ads . Pat earns 600k a year-seemingly that's too little to pay for their education:)

Record it on UPC, SKY etc, wait 10 mins and then start watching it.

You'll catch it with only 10mins, need at least 15.:p

Min · 22-01-2013 11:44pm

That was some episode, fails to disappoint.

JP Liz V1 · 22-01-2013 11:47pm

I quite like Faux-Amanda this season

Leinsterr · 23-01-2013 12:30am

I'm really enjoying this season but it would have been so much better if Victoria came back in like the season finale. Tonight's episode was claaaaaaaaaaaas. What did everyone else think?

closeline · 23-01-2013 1:39am

Hi all, just looking for a run down on Revenge at the moment. I missed the last 2 episodes of series one and only seen bits of series 2 so far so Im kinda lost. Could someone give me a brief summary of how series one ended and what is going on in series 2. Plus there is a few people in this years episodes that I do not recognise. Thanks.

It was good alright. Nice twist with the mother but they tend to over do with the dialogue between Victoria and the Hubby. Way too OTT.

coconut5 · 04-02-2013 4:48pm

Victoria and Conrad are my favourite characters. I like that they're kind of OTT.

This series is disappointing, really hard to follow at times, and the revenge plot doesn't make sense anymore with all of these other elements. Bringing in something like 'The Initiative' was a mistake. I hated it on Buffy, and I don't like it on this show either.

Ozymandius2011 · 05-02-2013 11:35pm

Wonder could Gordon Murphy be Amanda's real father?

kerosene · 06-02-2013 8:22pm

Is revenge repeated on rte during the week. My gf missed the end of it last night and is desperate to see it again. Thanks.

Wyldwood · 06-02-2013 9:12pm

Available on RTE player

kerosene · 06-02-2013 9:16pm

thankyou. I looked on rte player earlier. Do you have to wait 24 hrs before it is shown?

Nope i watched it last night on player.. sometimes things dissappear off it and then come back tho.

Lockedout · 09-02-2013 10:24am

Who the hell are the initiative they keep mentioning? I missed the reference explaining exactly who they were? I presume they plotted the air-plane crash?

Why did the Australian dude alert Daniel to the employment contract? Isn't he meant to be working for Amanda? If her father broke his contract by buying that stock then doesnt Amanda lose the source of her wealth?

gjc · 09-02-2013 4:24pm

Ive gotten into watching each episode twice...you'd be amazed at what you pick up on the second time around.....in fact alot more is figured out and the wriiters are very clever

coconut5 · 09-02-2013 9:13pm

I thought the most recent episode was a return to form, I liked that Emily is back on her revenge plan and the hint that Ashley might be more than a vacuous social climber.

Lockedout · 18-03-2013 4:54pm

The set up of the Judge was too neat for me. While the whole series is of course unrealistic-this episode was twilight zone material. The judge's wife just decided to turn like that!

jamo2oo9 · 03-04-2013 12:44pm

Last night's episode was extremely intense! I am really gutted that Amanda is gone now. But either way if she did survive that explosion, she would still go as the Initiative were onto to her after Victoria planted Helen's scarf in J.P. and A.C. in their bedroom. Really looking forward to the next weeks episode. Jack probably won't forgive himself nor will Emily if I'm honest.

coconut5 · 03-04-2013 2:44pm

The latest episode left me cold. I didn't expect Amanda to really die, so maybe that was it. I thought it was interesting that up until the bitter end, they called each other Amanda and Emily, even though they were essentially just calling their own names. Shows how much they both believe their new lives.

Kirby · 07-04-2013 7:47pm

I think it shows more that the show runners dont trust the audience's intelligence. They assume viewers will be confused if they keep switching names mid conversation.

This show has definitely jumped the shark at this stage. It should have been a one season show. Woman shows up, systematically destroys rich family. It would have worked well.
But in an effort to draw it out, we have ridiculous shadow organisations, magic computer programs that work on anything, mysterious syblings popping up from nowhere.etc.. I mean emily has been farting around at this stage. Whens the last time she actually DID somethinto the graysons?

Somebody that bitter and seething wouldnt just stay living there indefinitely having tea with these people.

Cosmic Maybe · 10-04-2013 9:11pm

Is it just me are they going on about the air conditioning being broken in the Stowaway an awful lot? I was convinced that the laptop must have been hidden there but then Jack went and found it in the locker so thats that theory out the window. Still though I have a feeling it could be something important.

I am 99% sure it has some significance. I thought the laptop was there as well. Something will happen with it.

closeline · 14-05-2013 10:26pm

Victoria...she has some body.

coconut5 · 14-05-2013 11:10pm

Great episode tonight. It's really picked up again. I'm back wanting Jack and Emily together, I think they have great chemistry, and the poor guy deserves some happiness! I do like Aiden as well, but I don't know what's going on with Takeda. Was he evil? Is he a part of the Initiative?

Lockedout · 17-05-2013 1:04pm

I have to say Im getting a bit bored. Problem number 1-the acting by and large is terrible. Feck all nuance to it. Madeleine Stone seems stuck in first gear and I know she has a better pedigree than that. Problem number 2-once they introduced "the Initiative" my heart sank. Its been done to death before these shadowy groups. Problem number three-The characters are just not being allowed to breathe and develop. Too focused on the next surprise and there are way too many of them. I think I will stop watching soon.

Heroditas · 29-05-2013 9:12am

Well that was a great season finale!!!

Quite a few revelations in it and also a few questions left unanswered.
Can't wait for Season 3.

Totally agree. Season hasn't been good but 2 part finale made up for it. Think they will need to work harder on season 3 as a lot of this one was hard to follow and didn't all tie together for me. The initiative part was awful. Didn't add anything to the story. Need to get back to basics like season 1. Just pure and simple Revenge. Love all Victoria's cutting remarks to Emily everytime she sees her.

The great thing is that they are already moving back to basics after that revelation from Conrad about the Initiative.
